Tokyo: After years of stagnation, the heiress of the yakuza arrives.

"Senior, where are you from? Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be from Tokyo."

Chew, chew, chew...

"Yes, Shido-kun, you're right. I'm from the Kansai region, and I lived in Hokkaido for a while when I was little..."

"Oh, is that so? No wonder I felt a strange sense of familiarity with you, senior. It turns out we're old acquaintances. I used to live in Hokkaido too."

Chew, chew, chew...

Kuroba Shido could talk and eat at the same time, while his senior seemed to be a quiet type, sitting there slowly eating without saying a word, which made Kuroba Shido feel quite embarrassed.

After all, he was eating so fast and making such big movements. If his senior noticed, how could he continue eating?

When you secretly add more food later, you won't be able to do it with any righteous indignation, okay?

If two people eat and chat at the same time, it creates the illusion that the food on the table is being consumed so quickly because they are eating together.

He's so smart!

The apparent harmony was just a facade created by Kuroba Shido to get a few more bites. Miss Beef Slice, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. My father is the village chief of the Dragon Kingdom...

Using formulas to solve problems is fast!

Onodera Zannen seemed oblivious to how quickly the food on the table was being consumed. A slice of beef had been simmering in the pot for who knows how long, until it was completely coated in sauce, before it was finally taken out of the pot.

After placing the beef in a small bowl containing sterile eggs, I went through the motions, opened my mouth, and put the beef in. I chewed it very elegantly, taking small bites and savoring it slowly...

From now on, she needs to find more opportunities to invite Shido-kun out for meals...

It was more delicious than any meal I'd had in years, as if it had been enchanted.

If Shido Kuroba works at the male servant omelet restaurant, then his senior will buy a lifetime membership card and come every single day of the year so that Shido Kuroba can cast a spell that makes the omelet rice taste better...

Some say it's a psychological effect, a scam to rip off fools, but only those who have experienced it know how delicious it is!

Magic really exists! (Very loudly)!!!

As for the senior student... she's the very creator of magic!!!

"Is that so? Shido and I really are destined to meet." Onodera Zanne said with a faint smile, and began a new round of death stares.

Unlike before when she did nothing but sit still, this time the senior student even learned to pick up a slice of beef and put it into the pot...soaking it in broth.

The magic that makes food taste delicious has been activated once again!

"Chew, chew, chew, now that you mention it, it's true. By the way, senior, what were you doing in Hokkaido when you were little? It was so poor there, all you saw all day was potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, sigh..."

On the surface, Shido Kuroba appears to be reminiscing about the past, putting on a show of "remembering the bitter past".

Why not recall the bitter past to appreciate the sweet present?

Because of Niu Mo, he's having a tough time right now. He lives in a rat-infested area in Tokyo, and even though he's the only one paying the rent, he has to share a place with the entire Da Hei family.

Damn it! Why don't rats have to pay rent? That's so unfair!

Shido Kuroba secretly made up his mind that after returning home today, he would train the Daikoku family properly so that they could perform on the streets to pay their rent.

The family can never repay his kindness, so it's not unreasonable for him to perform a couple of talents to earn some rent money, right?

This is all as it should be. Raise your hands. I'm telling you to raise your hands and jump. Keep jumping until I tell you to stop!

Indeed, Shido Kuroba is such a pure and cunning person who is always smug and opportunistic. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is not just a simple adjective, but Shido Kuroba's motto!

Today, Lord Kuroba is going to show you what true power is!

What? You're going to sue me?

Go ahead and sue me wherever you want!

Is it powerful enough?

If that's not enough, Lord Kuroba has more...

It's a good thing Kuroba Shido is a penniless wretch, otherwise, it's unimaginable how ugly he would look, let alone in Japan. He would have lost even the last bit of his conscience... Exploitation?

This is called a roundabout way to achieve the goal, baby!

"But senior sister probably hasn't experienced the kind of life where all she does every day is potatoes," Kuroba Shido remarked.

People's fates are indeed different.

Judging from her family background, I guess she went to Hokkaido as a child to play or experience the local customs and culture—that's a nicer way of putting it.

In reality, most people go there to seek a sense of superiority.

As they passed by, they would point and comment on the farmers working in the fields, saying things like...

"If you don't work hard now, you'll end up like him when you grow up!"

Thank you so much!

Also, do you think that just because you studied and worked hard, things will be different? You're too naive, kid. You need to know that Japan has no shortage of people. If you don't do it, there are plenty of others who will!

When the time comes, because they've studied too much, they'll have to adjust their glasses and behave themselves when they go back to farming...

Kuroba Shido was certainly not the one being pointed at and talked about, because he was locked up in an orphanage queuing up to receive free potatoes, which put him in an even lower category, and for the time being, he was treated like a monkey in a zoo during a tourist visit...

Even in the midst of his conversation, Kuroba Shido didn't forget to elbow the beef slice lady in front of him with his chopsticks.

It was all just a trick to get a few extra bites without anyone noticing, but... it seems the senior in front of me listened intently, as if she was recalling something.

……

"What do you think is the purpose of life?"

Five-year-old Shido Kuroba sat on the steps by the entrance, looking at the endless expanse of farmland in front of him, which was gradually turning from emerald green to yellowish due to the setting sun, and sighed.

Damn it, is there any human being left? Why did a perfectly good protagonist template turn into this mess?

"Forget about the 'Godly Rich System,' if all else fails, you could at least give me a divorce system. That's what everyone's doing these days. Just let me get a taste of the benefits, please, bro..."

Kuroba Shido was complaining again that his heartless leader was a useless piece of trash, always wanting him to have his fun...

Your mother's ass! This is an orphanage! Don't you know what you're saying? You damn lolicon!

At least that's what Kuroba Shido thought until he saw a phrase like "have some fun" pop up above the headmaster's head, who was almost halfway to the ground.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

666, there's a second level!

I'm begging you, you son of a bitch!

Kuroba Shido sat on the steps, once again masking his own pain, beneath which lay an even more painful, agonizing smile.

When will this ever end? Damn it!

Because of his young age, the orphanage had the right to supervise and restrict his freedom. Unfortunately, Kuroba Shido was the poor wretch who was restricted. His dreams of becoming a business tycoon, his stepsister, the neighbor lady who took out the trash, his childhood friend who secretly loved him...

not a single one!

There was only a bunch of snotty-nosed kids who were like idiots, oblivious to the dangers of society. Some of these kids even looked like Pokémon, their wise eyes making Kuroba Shido want to kick them even from several meters away...

Not far away, around the corner, stood a little girl with dark skin, tall and thin, clearly malnourished.

The little girl's gaze was calm and empty, only showing a flicker of emotion when she looked at Kuroba Shido sitting not far away...

Kuroba Shido, in despair, crouched at the top of the stairs, watching the sunset. The little girl stood there, watching the despairing Kuroba Shido watch the sunset... Hmm, that makes sense.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Reasonable my ass!

"You, yes, that's right, it's you! Come here! Look how long I've been waiting!" Kuroba Shido suddenly turned around, his face fierce and menacing, looking at the corner as if he had expected the girl to appear there!

I had barely finished talking about Pokémon when another one spawned here... Unbelievable!

A slender, tall girl with dark skin showed a flicker of emotion in her empty eyes as she walked towards Kuroba Shido…
